About El Chorlito Mexican Restaurant

El Chorlito Mexican Restaurant offers tasty food, especially the refried beans, which many say are better than those at other Mexican places. The chile Verde chimichanga is a popular choice, and the pork enchiladas are also well-liked. The restaurant features a dog-friendly patio, friendly and fast service, and plenty of parking. The setting includes beautiful gardens, adding to the dining experience. Although some areas could use a bit of sprucing up due to deferred maintenance, the place is family-run and has been a local favorite for a long time. The mole enchilada is highly recommended and considered fantastic. Prices are very fair, making it a good spot for a satisfying meal.

Some recent guests mentioned that the food was delicious, highlighting the freshness and authenticity of their meals. The staff is noted for being very friendly. However, there were some concerns about specific items; for example, one guest expected to find Pico and black beans but was disappointed to find they were not available. Additionally, the veggies for the fajitas were described as plain and lacking spice, and some felt the prices were high for what they received. Overall, while many enjoy the restaurant for its warm service and tasty dishes, experiences can vary.

Terrible waiters , they are so rude !

Terrible drinks
Fajitas no good
Dried out pork
Worst Mexican rice

Very disappointing

The restaurant used to cater to vegetarians offering yummy recipes using Tofu as a protein substitute and exclusively cooking in oil as opposed to lard.
On my last visit here 1/23/24, EVERYTHING was cooked in lard, boiled beans were non existent and no tofu.
My lunch consisted of 3 steamed corn tortillas and I am still hungry.
Did this place change ownership or did you just move over to The Dark Side. The his will be the last time I ever come here.
